Adult scoliosis patients often experienced pain that shoots down a leg or arm, causing everyday activities to become more difficult or even intolerable. One cause of this extreme pain is a herniated disc.
Disc herniations are most often caused by the long term spinal loading produced from the 3-D structural changes in scoliosis. This loading over time causes annular ring tearing resulting in a herniated disc.
Spinal decompression slowly and gently stretches the spine to alleviate pressure on the disc, vertebrae and surrounding soft tissue. Spinal decompression also stimulates nerves in the affected area to help reduce muscle spasm.
Spinal decompression treatments last 10-20 minutes per session depending on the patient’s unique needs and are combined with ultrasound and muscle stimulation to decrease pain and inflammation. When the patient’s pain has decreased SpineCor Exercise Method exercises are added to the overall treatment and the introduction of SpineCor bracing can be considered for long term stability and prevention of curve progression.
